Myth or fact

A claim people believe as the cover, a timer to decide, then the verdict stamped where the timer was, a tick and the word for a fact in your up colour or a cross and the word for a myth in your down colour, and why on a panel; up to four more claims, one page each: 10 to 50 seconds. In eight styles, each wearing your brand's colours, fonts, logo, presenter and background.

• The claim as the cover, a timer to guess, then the verdict and why, so viewers stay to the end.
• Up to five claims in one video, each with its own verdict and explanation.

Variants

A variant is this template drawn another way, and it comes in versions: immutable builds, the newest first. A channel follows the newest version of its variant, unless it is pinned to one.

What it accepts

Every variant takes the same content, so one document draws in any of them.

Myth or fact: a claim as the cover, a timer to decide, then the verdict stamped with a tick or a cross and why, and up to four more claims, one page each. metaData is the post's title, descriptions and hashtags and is never drawn.

Field	Type	Required	Limit	What it is
clipData	group	yes		Clip data: Everything drawn: a kicker, the claim, its verdict and why, up to four more claims, the words for the two verdicts, the source and the look.
clipData.kicker	text		up to 20 characters	Kicker: A word or two above every claim, such as MYTH OR FACT?
clipData.claim	text	yes	up to 120 characters	Claim: What people believe, written as they would say it. On the first page it is the clip's cover: there in full on the first frame.
clipData.verdict	enum	yes	myth, fact	Verdict: Whether the claim is a myth or a fact, given after the timer: a cross and the myth word in your down colour, or a tick and the fact word in your up colour.
clipData.explanation	text		up to 200 characters	Why: Why it is a myth or a fact, shown after the verdict. Left out, the page ends on the verdict.
clipData.more	list		at least 0, up to 4	More claims: Further claims after the first, one page each, each with its own verdict and why. Each adds ten seconds; four make a clip of 50 seconds.
clipData.more[]	group			Claim
clipData.more[].claim	text	yes	up to 120 characters	Claim: What people believe, written as they would say it, alone in the middle of its page until its timer runs.
clipData.more[].verdict	enum	yes	myth, fact	Verdict: Whether the claim is a myth or a fact, given after the timer: a cross and the myth word in your down colour, or a tick and the fact word in your up colour.
clipData.more[].explanation	text		up to 200 characters	Why: Why it is a myth or a fact, shown after the verdict. Left out, the page ends on the verdict.
clipData.mythLabel	text		up to 16 characters	Word for a myth: The word stamped beside the cross, in the language of the clip, such as Myth or Mythos. Left out, the cross stands alone.
clipData.factLabel	text		up to 16 characters	Word for a fact: The word stamped beside the tick, in the language of the clip, such as Fact or Fakt. Left out, the tick stands alone.
clipData.source	text		up to 70 characters	Source: Where the facts come from. Drawn exactly as written: write its label too, such as Source: at the start, as the template adds no word of its own.
clipData.styleWords	group			Style words: The few words some styles write into their own frame, each drawn exactly as written, in the language you write it in. A word left out is not drawn: no template adds a word of its own. The same keys in every format of the collections; each style draws only its own.
clipData.styleWords.live	text		up to 16 characters	Live marker (Broadcast news): Written beside the light in Broadcast news' channel bug, such as LIVE. Left out, the light stands alone.
clipData.styleWords.byline	text		up to 12 characters	Byline (Editorial): Written before the presenter's name in Editorial, such as By. Left out, the name stands alone.
clipData.styleWords.functionKeys	list		up to 4	Function keys (Data terminal): Data terminal's row of keys F1 to F4, one word each, in order, such as HELP, DATA, CHART and NEWS; the second is drawn held down, and a key that does not fit the row is left out. Left out, no keys are drawn.
clipData.styleWords.functionKeys[]	text		up to 12 characters	Key
clipData.styleWords.commandKey	text		up to 10 characters	Command key (Data terminal): The key at the end of Data terminal's row, in the rise colour, such as GO. Left out, none is drawn.
clipData.styleWords.realTime	text		up to 12 characters	Real-time light (Data terminal): Written beside the blinking light in Data terminal's status bar, such as RT. Left out, the light stands alone.
clipData.styleWords.messageLabel	text		up to 12 characters	Message window label (Data terminal): The tab on Data terminal's message window round the presenter, such as MSG. Left out, the window has no tab.
clipData.styleWords.pictureLabel	text		up to 12 characters	Picture panel label (Data terminal): Written in the strip along the top of Data terminal's picture panels, such as IMG. Left out, the strip stays empty.
clipData.look	group			Look: How the clip looks and moves within its style. The same switches in every format of the collections. Leave a switch out, or set it to the style's own, and the style decides.
clipData.look.theme	enum		auto, brand, light, dark, bold	Theme: The style's own choice; your brand's own colours and background; a light or dark page tinted with your brand colour; or your brand colour as the page.
clipData.look.pace	enum		auto, calm, standard, punchy	Pace: How things arrive: the style's own rhythm, calm fades, a standard rhythm, or punchy slams and cuts.
clipData.look.corners	enum		auto, square, soft, round	Corners: The shape of cards, panels and marks.
clipData.look.align	enum		auto, start, centre	Text alignment: Where the text lines up.
clipData.look.logo	enum		auto, free	Logo: The style's own: the logo on the style's plate (a card, a disc, a badge) so it reads on any page. As it is: the logo whole, with no plate, frame or crop, for a logo made to stand on the page, such as one with a transparent background. As it is, make sure your logo reads on the page of the theme you choose.
clipData.look.logoSize	enum		auto, small, large	Logo size: Standard is the style's own size. Small draws the logo a fifth smaller, with its plate. Large draws it a quarter larger wherever the style has room for it, and at the standard size where it has none.
clipData.look.hideHeader	boolean			Hide logo and title: Leaves out the line at the top of the clip: your logo, the title line and the style's decoration around them, so the content starts at the top. To leave it out of every clip, switch Logo and title line off in your brand's settings.
clipData.look.hideFooter	boolean			Hide footer line: Leaves out your footer line at the foot of the clip, with whatever the style draws only to carry it, so the content reaches further down. Your presenter and the source line stay. To leave it out of every clip, switch Footer line off in your brand's settings.
metaData	group			Meta data: Everything about the post that is never drawn in the clip: its title, its description in four lengths, one per kind of platform, and its hashtags. Reelwire adds the brand's description, link and hashtags after it. Left out, the post text is generated from the clip data.
metaData.title	text		up to 100 characters	Title: Used where the platform has a title of its own: Facebook Feed, LinkedIn, Pinterest and YouTube. Up to 100 characters, which every one of them takes.
metaData.captionTiny	text		up to 200 characters	Tiny description (Pinterest, Threads, X): Up to 200 characters. The brand's description, link and hashtags follow it within the platform's limit.
metaData.captionShort	text		up to 500 characters	Short description (Telegram, Threema, WeChat, WhatsApp): Up to 500 characters. The brand's description, link and hashtags follow it within the platform's limit.
metaData.captionMedium	text		up to 1500 characters	Medium description (Discord, Facebook Reels, Instagram, LinkedIn, Signal, Slack, TikTok): Up to 1500 characters. The brand's description, link and hashtags follow it within the platform's limit.
metaData.captionLong	text		up to 4000 characters	Long description (Facebook Feed, YouTube): Up to 4000 characters. The brand's description, link and hashtags follow it within the platform's limit.
metaData.hashtags	list		up to 15	Hashtags: Written without the #. Up to 15, which every platform takes.
metaData.hashtags[]	text		up to 60 characters	Hashtag

locales carries other languages: under each language code, the parts of clipData and metaData that differ, laid over the default, so a language with no copy still renders.

A picture is always a file from your media library: media:// followed by its id or its name. Anything the table does not list is refused, and so is anything over its limit, with a 400 schema_validation error that names the field.

Delivery JSON

Your own system sends this to one of your streams, POST /v1/stream, and every channel listening to that stream draws it with its template. data is the document described above; a stream with an empty field map passes it to the template unchanged. Try it first on POST /v1/stream/validate, which answers the same without publishing anything. Streams and feeds explains the rest, including how to map a document of your own shape instead.

The delivery names no version: which build draws it is the channel's choice, the newest of its variant or the one it is pinned to. eventId is a ULID you make once per event: sending the same one again changes nothing. occurredAt is when the thing happened, not when you sent it. locale is the language of the text in data, and data.locales carries other languages beside it.
